I’m back for another round of Kathy’s Humpday Confessions. I had a blast last time, with all the great comments and finding new blogs. There is just something about a good ole bitchfest that brings the people together 🙂
- I use too many quotes from outdated movies and TV shows, but I’m unlikely to stop because I find it funny. My abuse of Seinfeld quotes is at the top of this offense, I mean just look at what I named this series. I’m reusing the same picture from last week to go along with this confession but if I keep these posts up, I feel I need to come up with something new. I can be a bit short-sighted sometimes. P and I say, “You are so good-looking” to each other as a response to sneezing, and because we like to mix things up we now say it in Italian “sei così bello”. This new twist on the phrase is helpful in preventing yourself from saying it to strangers or co-workers.
- I hate going into a new restaurant where there is no clear order of how things are run. Do you seat yourself, where do you order, do you clear your own table, where do you pay, etc. If I have to ask any of these questions I’m an unhappy diner. I want organization, clear signs and directions. P and I went to a popular brunch place that was the most chaotic mess I’ve ever seen. No clear line to order, no clear instruction if you should sit or wait for your food, the ticket said pay up front before sitting and then the person at the register, “said no you can pay after”, what the hell…I was relieved just to get our food and get the hell out; not going back there anytime soon. I go out-to-eat to relax not to be tested on my skills of observation.
- Hangry is a very real condition that I suffer from. If I say, I’m hungry, I really mean it and better be fed in an appropriate manner. After, I get past a certain point of hunger a “small” snack will not suffice…I need real food and I need it now. P and I have to plan accordingly to prevent the hunger monster from emerging. I literally feel like my stomach is eating itself and cannot focus on anything else at that point other than getting food. Asking me questions is a bad idea. Stress makes the hangry worse. At a previous job, if I started getting snippy my co-worker would say, ok think you need to walk over and get a cheeseburger now 🙂 See the The Huffington Post backs me up, 10 Things Hangry People Do, pretty much all of these but especially #5 & #8.
- I hate when sites/blogs have links but they do not open in a new window. It makes me crazy and I’ve actually developed a coping mechanism of right clicking links automatically to open in a new tab. A lot of times I might be interested in reading the rest of the article but I’m too annoyed to click the back button. See this is a complaint and a blogging tip all in one!! When you create links make sure you click the open in new window option (you are welcome) 🙂
Now be good little bunnies and hop right over to Vodka and Soda, to catch what the other bloggers are confessing to this week. Please and thank you!
Good goobers, I do all of the above. I get irrationally angry over disorganized eateries and I automatically right click every damn time. And hangry is my default state. I’ve threatened to eat my coworkers shoes if they don’t make sure I’m fed in a timely fashion. Reason #256 I travel alone….
Ha! I use “my stomach is eating itself” all the time, or, “I’m so hungry I could eat my arm. Hungry is serious business 🙂
Again I agree with a lot of these. i once walked out of a restaurant in New York, because the service was terrible and the place was disorganised and the waitress rude, I wasn’t tipping that. Thinking back it must have been on a day I wasn’t Hangry or else I’d have been waiting anyway, and just getting more tetchy as I waited
Disorganized restaurants annoy me, but too much organization makes me nervous. Like at this one Philly cheesesteak place, they actually have RULES for ordering, and if you don’t do it right EVERYONE mocks you! Talk about ordering anxiety!
I do the right clicking thing, too! Drives me nuts… I don’t wanna lose my spot for crying out loud!!!!
Restaurant disorganization makes me so frustrated. I just want to follow your rules so I can get my food. Hangar is totally a real thing. It’s also why I snack a lot at work since work makes me angry anyways..
I automatically just hold control down when I click on links so it opens in a new tab. When I don’t actually have ctrl down and it opens the link in the same page I want to HULKSMASH the internet.
I just automatically right click as my default now! x
OMG!! yes yes and Yes!! For sure!! I love that you quote old sitcoms/movies! Tha’ts why their classic’s right? And I cannot staaand disorderly restaurants that expect you to figure everything out on your own! Its like really? Might as well pay me a salary and get it over with, lol. By the way- Hangry it totally a condition. In fact it really should be my middle name! Totally hysterical and i’m def. reading that article. Seperate window of course, haha! xoxo

I am pathetic when it comes to movie and TV show quotes- I’m always jealous of people who do it well!
I feel you on the hangry thing. I try to keep a snack of some kind in my purse for such situations, and now my husband has started carrying one too, in case I already ate that one (he knows me too well). 🙂
Yessss!!! I love you JUST for the fact that you overuse Seinfeld quotes. I’ve seen every single episode only a million times. My fiancee and I are fluent in movie quote- speaking. 😀
I can’t go into new restaurants by myself for the very reason you said! I am more likely to walk out and not partake in any delicous new food before I try to figure out how to navigate the restaurant.
Much like you, I quote old movies and TV shows all of the time and I can occasionally break into songs from those movies or TV shows.
OMG we quote Seinfeld incessantly in our house. My husband was making reference to the Mandelbaum episode the other day which I didn’t remember and then it came on and he was so excited. Any time he’s rude or pushy I reference George pushing the women and kids to the side when the house was on fire. And I totally got the “you are so good lookin” before you explained it. I too hate restaurants that are confusing and get hangry often – it isn’t cute!
Haha! I can totally have a full conversation in old movie/TV show quotes. I love them! Luckily, my friends have similar taste and know exactly what I’m talking about. 🙂
dimsum has to be the most chaotic in all the restaurant lands. while my peeps are used to it, non-asians often have a look of bewilderment that we laugh at (sorry folks but it’s true) and wonder if they’ve stumbled into the wrong place because surely, this kind of tactless, crass and rude behaviour can’t be normal?! well, it is! that’s just how we roll LOL
thanks for linking up!
